Sagaser is as follows: "Three to One on Roosevelt. "The offer to bet a 300-acre farm on Roosevelt for president which ran in the Express three weeks ago has been copied and reproduced in practically all city papers in the United States. We have received letters from the four corners of America--some from Democrats, some. from Republicans.

"But we did not receive one single acceptance to our challenge! "So we have about given up hope. We do not believe there is any Hoover money in the United States--at least not in the Middle West.

Drive for Needy Opens Tomorrow (Continued From Page 1) ities have made the supreme effort to help their own needy first. Moberly is not expected to turn her back on her own. Thinly clad kiddies. Mothers worn with worry, to. say nothing of work, to make everything last to the limit.

That's the picture the Welfare Society hopes Moberly's citizens will understand In this drive for funds--that none may go hungry or cold this winter. For Action Stories of grief and misfortune are commonplace these days. Every man and woman knows ot some instance of suffering that hard times has brought. The thing now is that something must be done about it. The Welfare Society funds have been depleted and people still are hungry.

They are without warm clothes and other necessities. They must be provided for. The goal of this drive is $8,000. Then the needy can be helped. Many children face the sorry fate of being forced to quit school unless they are helped.

Several agencies are cooperating with the Welfare Society to see that they are maintained. But the appeal is for help from all. Everyone is being asked to do his part that families may eat, keep themselves presentable to society children in school. 19 LINCOLN PUPILS ARE ON HONOR ROLL Nineteen Lincoln School pupils are on the honor roll for the first six weeks of school, L.

A Personal Status "Children have a personal status and must be respected. Parents must deal fairly with them and not insist that they do as he or she did. The great task of parenthood is to make the child see facts.

Present the facts gradually and with great patience. "It is hard to adjust our children in 1932. Remember, children have a future to face and are not tied to the past." F. Barbee, president of the Missouri State Teachers Association, said, in part, "At no time in our history was there greater need for the influence of education upon iur future citizens. It goes with- ut saying at this critical period it a grave mistake to weaken the services of any educational nstitution.

They should be strengthened no matter what the drain will be." 1 Mrs. B. F.

Winter, Ro publican nominee for governor, fired his first broadside at his new opponent in a speech last night at Nevada, in which he Judge Park was selected by the Kansas City "boss controlled" machine, and that the action of the Democratic State Committee in nominating him at Jefferson City yesterday demonstrated now small a voice Democratic voters had in party affairs. "Tom Pendergast, the big boy from Kansas City," Winter salo. "went down there personally aud sat on his high pedestal to direct the choosing of someone to be my opponent. He told them what to do and how to do it. He made them stop hijrh, and handsome, and made them do 'it quick-1 iy." Winter said he had "no quarrel Judge Park, but lie represents boss government, to which am firmly and intensely opposed." "There is nothing that organization would not stoop to," he said, "to loot the government of this state, and graft from Missouri citizens." G.
